Yeah, and there is no 80M shoe deal out there to make up for that difference
The first two are 5 years I believe and FA is 4 years.
I don't necessarily disagree but, that doesn't make him irrational, that just makes him selfish.
You think Mr. Kawhi McCharming gets anywhere near Harden’s 15m/year? I don’t. He was lucky to get close 20M/4yrs during an injury year before uncle Denny interfered.
He’d have to earn 20M a year (only Lebron has that) to break even on the 80M shortfall during the term of the super max deal.

Great post. Kl not smart. No max for him. If i were sa, i would sit him on bench all year and have sa docs say hes not cleared.
He could make less than half of Harden’s deal and more than make up the difference between super-max/not.
It’s all a red herring. I don’t think Kawhi needs to be in a major market to get a Harden-sized shoe deal. I think he needs to be healthy.
7.5 * 5 = 37.5 or not even close to the difference. Not to mention that I'm not sure he can go to another franchise that is a big market and still not have to pay state income tax.
This. His uncle ain't worth a .
Not sure where you’re getting your numbers. Harden’s deal is 200MM, so a shoe deal at 100MM isn’t inconceivable and would make up the delta in super max money.
As for availablity of a big market/SALT, you’re probably right. I’d imagine there’d be additional endorsements that could offset that hit. But I dunno.
if he goes to the lakers cal will kill him with the taxes
Extra Stout sighting!
or indifferent to the offer of loyalty that the Spurs franchise wishes to extend.
Harden's deal is longer than the length of the contract we're discussing so you'd have to compare the total to the total possible earnings via contracts if you want to do the totals. Harden's deal is 13 years while the contract we're talking about is 5. Plus, you also need to factor in the difference in a deal in the major market plus a shoe deal here. Kawhi turned down 20 million already, so he has to make that up to. Not to mention that the total reported is NOT what the athelete gets.
I never said he would sign with them an extension, I said the Spurs could trade him to PHX/SAC.
You shouldn't assume that his new team would ask for an extension as necessary condition to make the deal with the Spurs...The Suns and Kings are the type of teams that would accept just Kawhi's one year rental like OKC and PG13
You didn't need to know someone to realize this...
His camp wanted the super-max, the Spurs weren't willing to give him it. End.
As simple as two options, give him the extension or trade him.
I've actually known about this for the past 4-5 months. Not just right now. You were one of the ones trying to call a bluff -- which was cute I must say.
Me? I was saying they wanted the super-max since last offseason. I have to find my offseason posts ...One of them said "the only scenario I can see Kawhi leaving SA is if the Spurs don't offer him the supermax"
People called me crazy to suggest that...Well, I wasn't crazy after all.
You said his uncle wanted to sign with one LA's team. That was just BS.
What proof do you have to say I wasn't right? Go read that whole thread, every comment I made about this situation. You're a dumbass.
Because his camp ASKED FOR THE SUPERMAX. If his uncle would have wanted to go LA, he didn't even bother asking for the extension.

That is a specious argument. Kawhi’s camp “asked” for the SuperMax (maybe) because they knew SA would not offer it after what they pulled (it appears, don’t know 100% yet). They wanted out and did surface level stuff for damage control.
If the Spurs trade Kawhi, it will be because they didn't think he was worth the max, i.e., he has a degenerative injury and they fear he won't play through it or it will cut his career short. Then they trade him. No way Kawhi and his people are walking away from a supermax. A supermax is the ultimate respect for a player and Kawhi can't make up that money in endorsements.
No way is this fool getting a Super Max deal from the Spurs. Trade him and let’s all move on in our lives.
So the spurs even in the offseason were unwilling to give Kawhi the supermax?? When he was allegedly healthy? That’s dumb... why??
